Ingredients

  • 1  box (9 oz) Green Giant® frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed to drain
  • 1  can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chiles, undrained
  • 1  package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1  cup sour cream
  • 1/2  teaspoon taco seasoning mix (from 1-oz package)

  • 1  cup finely shredded Mexican cheese blend (4 oz)

Regular muffin tins generally make 12, so you can use the ingredient amounts listed but just double the amount when following the directions, @dmorais. In doing so, you should end up with about 2 1/2 batches of regular muffins (with a 12-count tin). One additional note: You'll need to increase the baking time of the muffins by about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuits are golden brown.

Not one of these ingredients makes me think of any kind of Mexican food. It's almost as bad as calling Taco Bell mexican food.
